The first full moon of the new year marks witchsona week. The only true witch I could find within myself is one that plays Animal Crossing New Leaf. (Hey, on the off chance that you reading this are a player too, my town Superbia’s dream address is: 5F00-0018-1B5F , come visit!)

“Ged and Tenar in the Painted Room” is an illustration I made for a scene from Ursula K. LeGuin’s The Tombs of Atuan, The second book of her Earthsea cycle. I just wanted to think about Ged and Tenar for a little while, and this moment, right before Ged’s proof is offered, right before the beginning of everything between them. I think about this moment a lot, it’s one of my favorite scenes in the Earthsea cycle.
